Try removing -z - it puts extra load on the rsync server, and most of the data
is already compressed, so compression would not give much.
I seem to remember I had such problem when using -z on large files.
Perhaps rsync server hits some resource limit when serving large files with 
compression. With updates size growing, more large files are present and the
problem may be more frequent.

Good luck,
